Chapter 10: Playing Nice W/The Locals (Updated Aug 2012)

BPOV

That night after the two asshole vampires finally left I got a phone call from Elena asking me to call my witch friends to block all vampires from her house. I told her give me a second and it would be done. She didn't ask any questions for which I was happy, because I didn't want to lie to her, but I knew I would have to extremely pissed off vampires on my hands tomorrow when they find out that Bonnie wasn't the one to block them out of her house. I didn't need to ask questions I knew all about controlling vampires after dating Edward so I was more than happy to help her out. I took care of it feeling myself drain just a little more before turning in to bed myself.

The next morning when I woke up I was refreshed and ready to get through this day. Today I would try to play nice with the locals, and talk to Elena some more. They didn't scare me and I was tired of this constant battle of who can keep what from who. This game was just going to get someone hurt or worse the curse released and everyone's lives ending. I jumped out of bed and grabbed a shower. Getting dressed in a low cut black top that laced up the front, the sleeves were lose around the wrist like in the medieval times, with a pair of tight fitting black pants, with black knee high boots, I put my makeup on to give mystery, and curled my hair in large curls, it was time I start showing myself for the powerful witch that I am. I am tired of playing games and hiding behind a mask.

I pulled up in front of the school and spotted Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, Stefan, Jeremy, and several people who I still didn't know their names. I got out and walked up to Elena. "Hey Elena, how was your night?" I said getting glares from everyone.

"Bella! I had fun last night, best night of sleep ever too." She said laughing.

"Hey you want to hang out with me after school, I got to go grocery shopping and maybe I can treat your family to something home cooked this weekend. Everyone is welcome to come with the understanding that I am not trying to hurt Elena." I said smiling.

"That sounds like a great idea Bella, I would love to hang with you today, I will meet you at your truck after school. Stefan normally drives me to and from school so I don't have to worry about a car." Elena said smiling, she came up and hooked her arm through mine. "Come on lets get to class."

"See everyone later." I said smiling. "Oh and you all need to come by my house at about 8, we need to talk."

Class flew by quickly and before I knew it school was over and it was time to go grocery shopping with Elena. "Hey Elena, Stefan." I said walking over to my truck. "E, you ready to go?"

"Sure B, Stefan I will see you in a little while." Elena said giving him a kiss and getting in my truck leaving no room for debate.

"Elena can I ask you something without you getting mad at me?" I asked.

"Well I can't say I wont get mad till after you ask because how can I say I wont get mad if I don't know what the question is?" Elena said smiling, "But I will try not to get mad."

"Why do you put up with him being a controlling ass? I've been in your shoes before and I know what it is like, I know it has to piss you off. Why do you let him treat you as less than his equal?" I asked her pulling into the grocery store.

"I love him, he isn't always that bad when my life isn't in constant danger but he worries with this problem going on that something is going to happen to me." Elena said with a slight frown. "But it does drive me crazy to the point where I don't know how much more I can take. When I am with Stefan everyone I love is in constant danger because he wont listen to anything that I have to say."

"Elena I have been in your shoes, if he loves you as much as you love him then he will listen. If not then you need to tell him straighten his act or lose you. You can talk to me about anything Elena, I know everyone's keeping something from everyone, but that has to end. Tonight we share everything with everyone." I told Elena as we picked up the groceries I would need for the week and the stuff to make enough lasagna and salad for everyone for tonight. "Will you stay and help me cook dinner so they don't think that I poisoned it?"

"I would love to but I am not the best cook." She said blushing just a bit, not no where near as bad as I do.

"Trust me lasagna is really easy to make, if you just listen to what I tell you to do then it will be no problems at all." I said smiling. "Come on I think I got everything I need."

When we got home we made small talk and cooked dinner. I don't know what Elena was so worried about she did just fine cooking dinner. Right at 8 there was a knock on my door. I went to answer it. "Thanks for coming," I opened the door wider gesturing for those who could to come in. When everyone but Stefan, Caroline, and Damon were the only ones remaining I said. "If I invite you in this house you are not to bite anyone in here or you will reap my wrath and you do not want that. Now Caroline, Stefan, Damon, you are invited in my house for the night. Now Elena and I spent all afternoon cooking dinner so please come in the dinning room and we will eat."

"Hey everyone, Bella taught me how to cook lasagna. Oh Bella you don't officially know anyone. This is Tyler, Bonnie, Caroline, Damon, Stefan, Matt, you already know Jeremy, this is Bella, Bella meet the gang." Elena said being nice to me, I knew there was a reason that I was nice to her.

"Yes I've meet Caroline, Damon, and Stefan." I said politely. "Come now let's eat, I had Elena help cook so you knew that it wasn't poisoned. I didn't want any of you to be afraid of me. We need to learn to work together, and the only way we can keep Elena safe is to work together. My main goal here is the same as yours but I know more about this curse than you do."

"Katherine told us all about the curse, we know that Klaus needs two witches, a vampire, a werewolf, and Elena, or the Petrova doppelganger." Damon said as if he knew everything.

"Oh Klaus is the name of the original, hmm I wondered who the original was it wasn't included in the books that I have read already. So you know about the sacrifice?" I asked and the place went into an uproar.

"What sacrifice?" They all started to scream.

"QUITE!" I yelled and released a little of my power to get them to sit down and shut up. "Thank you, now that I have your attention you will listen to me. I know more than you do about this than you do, now I am trying to work with you to keep Elena safe, you could have the same common courtesy to work with me to do the same thing."

"Alright we will share what we know with you and you will share what you know." Elena said smiling at me. We talked about this earlier she knew it was time we at least tried to get along to be able to make sure lives weren't lost.

"Alright I've got a question who is Elijah?" I asked, Stefan and Damon straightened up a bit with this question.

"He is another original that is trying to kill Klaus, he is Klaus's brother. Apparently they have a grudge to bear of their own. He is also trying to stop the curse but he wants to use Elena as bait to draw Klaus here also." Stefan answered.

"Hmm okay so there are two originals around here, or there will be soon. Okay what else do you know?" I asked.

"Nothing, we thought we knew everything that was going on but we should have known better that to listen to Katherine." Elena said frowning.

"Alright then I will share with you what I know. There curse has four sacrifices. Bonnie, Elena, and Caroline, a female werewolf as well. Tyler do you have any family that has turned yet?" I asked.

"Wait how did you know Bonnie was the witch or Tyler being almost a werewolf?" Caroline asked.

"There is two witches involved, a witch not involved in the curse," I paused pointing to Bonnie, "and a Swan witch." I said pointing at myself.

"Hmm your not a witch your human." Bonnie scoffed.

"Elena who did you call last night to uninvited vampires into your house? Damon, Stefan, what happened when Stefan tried to rush into my house despite not having an invitation into the house, letting your anger get the best of you." I sat there looking at several shocked faces. "The Sun and Moon curse was first placed on vampires by Maria Isabel Swan. The vampires and werewolves were about to reach her town and many lives would have been lost. With the help of the moonstone which held many good positive emotions to place the curse, she sacrificed her life to keep those around her that she loved safe. Now only a Swan witch can lift the curse." I explained to everyone. The house was so quite it was kind of scary. "Alright who wants dessert?"

AN: Someone asked if the Cullens are going to be in this story and I honestly haven't decided if they will be in this one or if there will be a sequel an have Cullen/Salvatore drama without the originals drama. This story is writing itself pretty much so I don't know yet where exactly it will end
